Greetings,

I am a business owner, currently in start-up phase and I am going with open source software in order to mitigate costs. I would like to reiterate that I have very little money; however, I need an erp solution that I am able to use a pos and sync inventory to and from into Magento. It would be nice if it can go to Amazon and Ebay but as a free solution I know that those options may be limited. Now granted, I am new to Magento and I initially  thought I could go with Openerp or Odoo but it seems that is not a true open source; maybe more like a commercial product as I have to pay for apps in order for it to be useful. It is just me and the Lord and it is just to expensive. Now granted I am not here to waste anyone's time but do you recommend this as a solution or what would your do.

Requirements

1. Back-end solution for Magento to upload products and they can be sync so I would not have to upload products directly into Magento.
2. Pos system.
3. Able to go omni-channel Amazon and Ebay but possibly others. 

I ask here as it is not as easy to follow exactly what is going on your website as it seems it is more geared toward developers than your average job. Thanks for your time. I pray for the Lord's help in this regard. God bless you.

In base, there is no Magento synchronisation module but it should not be
difficult to write one as it provides a SOAP API:

Tryton does not have for now a POS application.
There is only sale to known parties.

Again this is a matter of creating the modules that synchronize with
those services. I'm pretty sure they have API's.

As far as I know Tryton uses postgres db only. In postgres you have mysql_fdw (mysql foreign data wrapper for postgres 9.3+) where you can have access to mysql database tables as if they were postgres tables. So you may have a direct access to magento tables. At that point you even do not need any api but you can process data even by sql scripts run from cron. Or run by any other language if you do not feel comfortable with sql scripts.
I have already some small experience with mysql_fdw. I have used it for for a database transfer from postgres to mysql and it has worked reasonably well. Ironically I will do a reverse process in a near future:).

Perhaps you should provide an additional information on your it background and on programming/dbadmin resource that you have at your disposal. That always affects business/development/integration decisions.

Kind regards

Unfortunatly, getting Magento/Tryton working together is not a matter
of sharing raw data. Since both products overlap on many aspects,
everything has to be translated in both directions.

You can check a Magento/Tryton connector by OpenLabs/FulFil.io on
github. btw, FulFil.io also claim to provide Amazon and Ebay channels
for Tryton. You may talk to them.
Whatever you do, we are interested in sharing.

Thanks for all of your replies. I am actually looking for an out of the box solution. I saw a video on Full.io, and a very smart young entrepreneur explained that he was able to accomplish this at cost around $400 per month. I do not have that type of money and I am not a developer in the sense of pure coding and knowing how to integrate things natively. With the Lord's help, I am able to do all things. I guess this would not be a reasonable solution to what I am looking for.

This is even hard to achive with a commercial solution.
To quote SAP: SAP his a highly customizeable ERP solution, that needs no
additional programming

That sounds sportive in the first glance. For how many user?
I assume it is a hosted solution?
(BTW, does anyone know if this is then new company of Sharoon?)

Free software is taking and giving. You get most of the functions already for
free, and you can contribute your Margento Interface (as an example)

Cheers

I just spoke with them last week and saw a demo of their services.  Looks slick.

Fulfil.io showed me a demo last week, and the service looks pretty impressive. I've worked with their team on other projects and am a big fan.
